parkrun results 17/3/18. Nice turnout at Karkarook with a big PB for Daniel Hall ably paced by Matthew Woods and a cracking run by Peter Rushen with an 84.28 age grade %. Zoe Heath at Maribyrnong became the 3rd fastest female Miler for the year with her 20:41. Must also mention Bruce Arthur’s run at Studley Park, close to his PB and equivalent to a sub 18 on the flat but just beaten by Tim Bryant the 3rd fastest runner of all time there, who was pushing a child in a pram. A bit further back Mark Purvis was strolling to his 5th age category record for the year.

One of the best things about doing parkrun is sometimes the photos that can give you some insight into your running form. Do you look relaxed and tall, shoulders even etc. Well today thanks to Scott Stacey who alerted me to the shot, i got a photo of me in full flight and barely an issue with my running form to be seen. So eat your heart out B1 Luke Goodman. Come talk to me when you look this good. ... See MoreSee Less

Some good work by milers at Karkarook this morning with Matthew "Woodsie" pacing Dan to a 29s PB (17:23) while Hugh continued his recent run of PBs with another one today (1930?). Thanks to Simon for dragging my slow, sorry arse around. Rog was flying with the clouds doing some on offs and Bugs just jogged around contemplating the crappy condition for R4TK tmr 😉 ...

The Melbourne Midday Milers

The Midday Milers offer city workers an informal but structured lunch-time training program. The group meets at 12:30pm each weekday at the Tan Track, only a five-minute jog from the Flinders St / Swanston St intersection. All levels of runners are welcome to join us for a variety of casual, easy runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or more intense, speed / fartlek / hill sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. To ensure we cater for all standards of runners, the Tuesday and Thursday sessions have dedicated A and B groups. To see how this works, refer to our fortnightly Training Program.

The famous Tan Track is one of Melbourne’s most picturesque running venues. We start most runs from the “Pillars of Wisdom” – on the Tan Track just south of the Swan St Bridge.
